When sending the phrase "I'm thinking of you" to Shi Yan, Zheng Shuyi was in a bit of a broken state of mind.
Anyway, after being bombarded with screenshots of his chat records for so long, Zheng Shuyi felt that there was no need for him to struggle anymore.
and.
She felt that she was telling the truth just now, and she didn't deliberately act.
She was thinking of him.
But Shi Yan didn't reply to the news for a long time.
So even though she was seeking truth from facts, Shi Yan was still embarrassed.
Ugh.
Zheng Shuyi curled up on the sofa and sighed, not knowing what to do.
Qin Shiyue, who hadn't waited for a response for a long time, began to urge Zheng Shuyi again.
Qin Shiyue: Did you ask
Qin Shiyue: Ask him if he is free tomorrow.
Only then did Zheng Shuyi remember that he had forgotten about Qin Shiyue.
Zheng Shuyi: Okay, let me ask now.
Zheng Shuyi: But why ask him out tomorrow
Qin Shiyue: Look at the painting exhibition.
Qin Shiyue: I asked my friend to help me get three tickets.
Qin Shiyue majored in Art Appreciation in University. Although she hadn't attended many classes and almost couldn't even finish the course, she felt that for a layman like Yu You, her superficial ability to deal with the teacher was enough.
At least it can bluff people and make Yu You feel that she is an artistic person.
Zheng Shuyi approached Yu You: Are you free tomorrow
After waiting for a long time, Yu You didn't respond to any message, so he was probably really busy.
Zheng Shuyi was not in a hurry, but Qin Shiyue, who was holding the phone, was a little nervous.
So much so that she didn't notice her mother talking to her.
Song Lelan reached out and knocked on her phone, "Are you going to fall into the phone?"
"Huh?" Qin Shiyue looked up, "What?"
"I'm asking you." Song Lelan said while stirring the spoon, "Your dad is going to climb the mountain tomorrow, do you want to follow along, exercise more, you see you are sitting or lying down every day, keep in good shape Relying on a diet, how can this work?"
"I won't go." Qin Shiyue said, "Who wants to go mountain climbing with their old men."
"What old men are not old men? Speak well and don't have any rules." Song Lelan was a little angry when she heard it, but she wouldn't get angry over such a trivial matter, "And Jiang Heng and his group of children."
"I won't go." Qin Shiyue still insisted, "I have something to do tomorrow."
Shi Yan on the side put down his chopsticks, wiped his hands slowly with a towel, his tone was flat, but with a bit of irony: "What can you do."
The usual Qin Shiyue was used to his tone, so she couldn't refute, and didn't dare to say anything more.
But today, she was eager to move, so she couldn't control her mouth much.
"Why can't I have something to do, I have an appointment to see the art exhibition."
Shi Yan smiled, but his tone was still not so friendly.
"Really? Who can't find anything to do, and actually accompany you to see the art exhibition?"
But Qin Shiyue felt that he might be in a good mood today, and he actually told her so much about everything.
But it is impossible for her to tell Shi Yan that she is going to chase a man.
"Sister Shuyi." Qin Shiyue stared at him deliberately, raised her chin slightly, showing off, "Can't you?"
Shi Yan really ignored her.
In the next second, Qin Shiyue received Zheng Shuyi's reply, which was her chat record with Yu You.
Yu You: Tomorrow? Something is wrong, what's the matter
Zheng Shuyi: Oh, it’s nothing serious, it’s just the weekend. My friend has three tickets for the art exhibition, and there’s only one person missing. Let’s see if you’re free.
Yu You: I'm sorry.
Zheng Shuyi: It’s okay, it’s okay.
Qin Shiyue looked at it, her brows and eyes drooped, and the smug look just now disappeared in an instant.
Qin Shiyue: Oh... that's it.
Qin Shiyue: Then you ask the day after tomorrow
Zheng Shuyi frowned, a little confused.
It's okay to follow up and ask, but she's afraid that if Yu You thinks she has other meanings.
Although when they were chatting before, she made it clear that she had no intention of going on a blind date, but two opposite sexes who usually have no contact with each other, suddenly insisted on inviting someone to see the art exhibition, which could easily make people fantasize.
Zheng Shuyi: Do you have to go with me
Qin Shiyue: How about that? If I invite people alone, they will definitely think that I am too unreserved.
Zheng Shuyi: "..."
Then you are not very reserved now.
She thought about it, whatever, just treat it as doing good things for Shi Yan.
So Zheng Shuyi asked Yu You again.
Zheng Shuyi: Do you have time the day after tomorrow
Yu You: You can do it the day after tomorrow.
Zheng Shuyi: Okay, then see you at the Convention and Exhibition Center at two o'clock in the afternoon
Yu You: Good.
Upon receiving this news, Qin Shiyue's mood turned around. After eating two mouthfuls of food, she said with a smile, "I'd better go hiking with my dad tomorrow."
Shi Yan leaned back on the chair slowly, and looked at her with folded arms.
"Aren't you going to see the art exhibition with your sister Shuyi?"
"I'm not going." Qin Shiyue shook his head in a small arc, with a faint smile on his lips, "I decided to go the day after tomorrow, and I'll go climbing tomorrow. I haven't seen Jiang Heng for a long time. I don't know if he's growing up again. Handsome."
In the twilight, the fragrance of the newly bloomed crabapple flowers in the yard was brought in by the wind, filling the tip of the nose, soothing people without knowing it.
The phone on the table vibrated suddenly.
Shi Yan picked up the phone and glanced at it.
Zheng Shuyi: Are you free tomorrow afternoon? Want to go to the movies
Zheng Shuyi: Well behaved.GIF
Shi Yan pursed her lips tightly, and replied: No, work.
Just after Qin Shiyue let her go, she came to ask him out.
Are you really using him as a spare tire
By the way, Shi Yan glanced sideways at Qin Shiyue who was buried in his meal.
It's still Qin Shiyue's spare tire.
He got up suddenly, and knocked Qin Shiyue's head with his mobile phone gently.
"What are you doing?"
Qin Shiyue covered her head, and when she turned her head, she could only see Shi Yan's back.
She was very angry, but she only dared to whisper: "Did I provoke him when I was eating? Really... Mom, just take care of him!"
Song Lelan shrugged: "Who dares to control him."
On the other side, Zheng Shuyi, who received Shi Yan's reply, was full of expectations but failed.
Workaholic
Have a great spring and work overtime
She was typing while eating dinner.
Zheng Shuyi: Then I will come too.
Shi Yan: What are you doing here
Zheng Shuyi: To earn performance.
for a long time.
Shi Yan: As you like.
This is allowed.
Zheng Shuyi smiled and finished the rest of the meal, humming while washing the dishes.
When picking up Bi Ruoshan's phone call, her tone was very frivolous: "What are you doing~ Miss me~"
"Speak well, what are you talking about?" Bi Ruoshan felt goosebumps all over her body, "Let me ask you, is that Situ Yi from the class next door to us now an internet celebrity?"
"That's right." Zheng Shuyi asked, "It's quite popular, I saw two million followers on Weibo the other day."
Bi Ruoshan: "Then can you still contact her? Our company recently has a product to promote, and she is quite suitable."
"Okay, no problem, I'll find someone to ask for you."
Bi Ruoshan frowned on the other end of the phone, "Zheng Shuyi, what's the matter with you today, are you sick?"
"You are sick." Zheng Shuyi snorted, "I am in a good mood."
Hearing this, Bi Ruoshan was actually happy.
She had been worried that Zheng Shuyi was in a bad mood during this time, and she was afraid that her body would not be able to bear it.
But Zheng Shuyi's tone was so embarrassing, Bi Ruoshan couldn't help but want to hurt her.
"Hey, I know that you are in a good mood, but I don't know that I thought you won five million."
Zheng Shuyi paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's more than five million."
"Huh?" Bi Ruoshan was aroused by her interest, "What?"
"It's nothing." Zheng Shuyi said casually, "Just me and Shi Yan should be reconciled."
It seemed a bit too reckless to say so, Zheng Shuyi added: "Anyway, he is not angry now."
"Not angry anymore?!"
Bi Ruoshan screamed, and Zheng Shuyi was so frightened that he almost smashed the bowl in his hand.
"What are you so excited about?"
It's not that Bi Ruoshan was excited, it's just that in her perception, any man would be furious when encountering such a thing.
What's more, for a person like Shi Yan, it's tantamount to stomping on his face and self-esteem two hundred times and throwing him into the crematorium to be burned eight hundred times.
So when Bi Ruoshan heard that Zheng Shuyi had overturned her car, she had already lit a sea of candles for her sisters in her heart.
However, this is how long.
At that time, he was not angry anymore? !
Is this the magic of beauty
Can even this be forgiven
Bi Ruoshan touched her face, completely puzzled.
Zheng Shuyi babbled about the past few days in her ear, so Bi Ruoshan felt that her three views were shattered in just a few seconds, and now they are slowly reorganizing in a strange way.
"So," Zheng Shuyi said slowly, "I will work overtime with him tomorrow."
"Fine."
Bi Ruoshan has accepted this reality, but still can't help reminding, "Then you don't have to do this, how many times have I told you, you have to be more reserved, otherwise men won't cherish you."
Holding the hot water, Zheng Shuyi swallowed the pills in one gulp, and then said word by word: "What time is it, you are still talking about those formulas and theorems. I will do whatever I want, express what I want to express, otherwise no one will Know if the opportunity suddenly disappears."
"and… "
A piece of medicine was stuck in his throat, and a bitter taste spread out, "Is it true that you will be cherished if you are reserved? I was reserved enough when Yue Xingzhou chased me before, and the result?"
This sentence stopped Bi Ruoshan from asking, and she couldn't refute at all.
"If a man doesn't cherish me because I'm not reserved enough, because I took the initiative first, then..."
Zheng Shuyi sighed, "Then I have nothing to say."
—
the next afternoon.
Zheng Shuyi didn't bring anything, and went to the Mingyu headquarters building with ease.
In this office building with strict access control, Zheng Shuyi went up to the seventeenth floor unimpeded for the first time.
When walking into Shi Yan's office.
He sat behind the computer and didn't lift his eyes until Zheng Shuyi walked in front of him.
Zheng Shuyi stood in front of him.
"I'm coming."
Shi Yan clearly saw and heard it, but just ignored her.
Zheng Shuyi went around to his side again, stretched out his hand and waved in front of his eyes.
"Am I invisible?"
Shi Yan took off his glasses, looked up at her, and then raised his chin sideways.
Zheng Shuyi looked over.
There is a sofa.
"Go and sit over there."
How come this sentence sounds like "Which side is cool, stay there".
Zheng Shuyi let out an "oh" and went where she was supposed to go.
The moment he turned around, Shi Yan looked at her aggrieved back, and raised the corner of his mouth.
Once the door of the office was closed, all sounds from the outside world were cut off.
Shi Yan stared at the computer screen intently, and there was no sound at all. If he hadn't seen this living person with his own eyes, Zheng Shuyi would have thought that there was no living thing in this office other than her.
She was sitting upright at first, but after a long time, and she had nothing to do, she felt that her waist was not her waist, and her back was not her back.
Anyway, Shi Yan wouldn't distract her a little bit, so Zheng Shuyi slowly leaned into the sofa.
After a while, there was still no movement from Shi Yan.
Zheng Shuyi began to try to attract his attention.
For a while, I went to the window to touch the green plants, and then I went back to the sofa to watch my mobile phone, and occasionally ran to the opposite corner to stretch.
That figure dangled back and forth in Shi Yan's peripheral vision without stopping.
When Zheng Shuyi touched the leaves of the green plants for the third time, the people behind him finally moved.
Zheng Shuyi immediately turned around, but found that Shi Yan's attention was not on her, but lowered his head and dialed the company's internal line.
The moment the phone was connected, he raised his eyes and met Zheng Shuyi's eyes, then looked at her, and explained to the person on the phone word by word: "Order two movie tickets."
On the other end of the phone, the secretary asked, "Do you want to reserve the room?"
Zheng Shuyi looked at her and bent his lips.
Shi Yan withdrew his gaze: "No need."
Secretary: "Need me to send you the list of films that are currently being screened?"
Shi Yan: "No, you can pick whatever you want."
When Shi Yan raised his eyes again, Zheng Shuyi had already run to the side of the sofa to pack his things.
He watched her every move, and added: "It needs to be in the most recent time period."
Secretary: "Okay, I will send the message to your mobile phone later."
After hanging up the phone, Zheng Shuyi had already packed her things, sat on the sofa in a well-mannered manner, and watched Shi Yan.
Shi Yan also looked at her.
His eyes were calm, but as if he was seeing Zheng Shuyi for the first time, he looked at her carefully.
After a while, he even bent his arms to support his temples, and his eyes moved inch by inch on Zheng Shuyi's face.
Zheng Shuyi didn't know what he was thinking, but felt that his eyes seemed to be looking at a slaughtered fat pig, and he was inexplicably frightened.
"Are you still watching the movie?"
"What's the rush, let's see you first."
Shi Yan still stared at her directly, his eyes moved down little by little.
Swept over her waist, her legs, and finally fixed on her eyes.
I'm in no rush.
Zheng Shuyi recited silently in his heart.
After a few seconds, she finally couldn't take it anymore and covered her hot face with her hands.
"What are you looking at me for?"
Shi Yan got up suddenly, walked in front of her, squatted halfway, and pulled her hand away.
Zheng Shuyi had no choice but to meet his gaze again.
Shi Yan took a close look at it for a while before hooking the corners of his lips.
"See if this movie is worth two hours of my time."
Zheng Shuyi: "..."
—
Regardless of whether Shi Yan thought it was worth it or not, he brought Zheng Shuyi to the cinema anyway.
Valentine's Day has just passed, and it coincides with the weekend, and the movie theater is still crowded.
But Shi Yan's secretary booked the VIP hall, and the two of them went there at the right time, so they entered the theater directly without waiting.
Just at the entrance, Zheng Shuyi heard someone calling Shi Yan.
"Mr. Shi!"
Zheng Shuyi looked back before Shi Yan.
I saw two women walking in together, one of them was well-dressed, with long hair and shawls. Although she didn't wear much makeup, her aura still made everyone around her stand out.
It's just that after Shi Yan turned her head, this beauty's gaze stayed on Zheng Shuyi.
After a few seconds, she withdrew her gaze and looked at Shi Yan again.
"I'm Fiona from EM Finance, remember? I met you last time at EM Charity Night."
Upon hearing the name "Fiona", Zheng Shuyi's nerves were lifted suddenly.
She remembered that this was the name of the woman Guan Ji had mentioned on the phone.
Then she finally understood why Fiona stared at her as soon as she came over.
Thinking of this, Zheng Shuyi felt a sense of crisis, and calmly, the banquet was getting closer.
This kind of silent oath of sovereignty, how could Fiona not understand the meaning.
While looking at Shi Yan, she stretched out her hand towards him, while paying attention to Zheng Shuyi without any trace.
Shi Yan was unaware of Zheng Shuyi's secret contest, and spoke to Fiona in a serious manner.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
"Yeah, I didn't expect to meet you here." Fiona said, reaching out to Shi Yan.
The moment she saw them shaking hands, Zheng Shuyi gritted her teeth.
Although they only held hands for a few seconds, Zheng Shuyi felt as if they had been sticky for several minutes, wishing to step forward and break them apart.
Putting her hand away, Fiona wanted to say something, but at this moment, the lights in the theater suddenly went out.
"Let's go." Shi Yan pulled Zheng Shuyi inside, "The movie is about to start."
Fiona glanced at the two of them, and followed her friend towards the seat.
Coincidentally, their seats are in the front and back rows respectively.
But the VIP seat is an adjustable seat with a wide space between the front and rear, so Zheng Shuyi can only feel the faint line of sight behind him, but not his movements.
Zheng Shuyi was fidgeting throughout the whole process, not paying attention to the big screen at all. The only impression of this movie was the title "Flowers and Full Moon".
On the contrary, Shi Yan at the side seemed to be taking it very seriously.
Zheng Shuyi couldn't calm down, and after many thoughts flashed through his mind, he suddenly asked, "What do you want to drink?"
There is a retractable table between the two seats, with a QR code on it, you can order by scanning it, and a special person will deliver the items.
Shi Yan stared at the screen intently: "Don't drink."
Zheng Shuyi: "Then do you want popcorn?"
Shi Yan: "Don't eat."
boring.
Zheng Shuyi ordered a bucket of popcorn for herself.
She didn't want to go to the bathroom halfway, so she didn't order a drink.
After a while, someone came in with a cat on his waist.
Zheng Shuyi was eating popcorn, but his attention was still on Fiona behind him.
Even if it's just her intuition, she can be sure that Fiona is not watching a movie, but watching a banquet.
Suddenly, Zheng Shuyi felt the person behind her stand up, and her movements of chewing popcorn suddenly froze, mobilizing all the nerves in her body, and she remained motionless.
"We ordered mineral water."
Fiona reached out and patted Shi Yan's shoulder, "Do you want it?"
Zheng Shuyi bit the popcorn hard, forcing himself not to look over there.
To pretend to be calm and breezy.
"No need." Shi Yan's voice sounded beside her ear, "Thank you."
Zheng Shuyi breathed a sigh of relief.
But the sense of crisis in her heart became more and more intense, like a cat scratching, if she didn't do something, she couldn't settle down.
A few minutes later, Zheng Shuyi suddenly handed the popcorn to Shi Yan.
"Do you want to eat?"
Shi Yan didn't even look at her.
"Don't eat."
Zheng Shuyi felt that Fiona was looking at them.
Wouldn't it be a joke to be rejected like this.
So Zheng Shuyi simply squeezed out a popcorn and handed it to Shi Yan.
"Eat one, it's very sweet."
Shi Yan looked sideways at her.
The dim lights in the theater still couldn't hide Zheng Shuyi's contrived begging expression.
"Eat."
She frowned, as if if she didn't eat the banquet, she would cry on the spot.
The picture on the big screen changed frame by frame, causing the light and shadow between the two to flicker.
Shi Yan stretched his neck forward suddenly, then lowered his head.
In the dark, Zheng Shuyi saw him staring at her closely, but took away the popcorn with Zheng Shuyi's fingers.
It seemed that his lips even reached her fingertips.
The warm feeling was on the verge of breaking out, and with the speed of blood flow, it spread to Zheng Shuyi's whole body.
She froze for a while, then turned around quickly, looking at the screen squarely.
He didn't know where to put his hands, he randomly grabbed a few popcorns and stuffed them into his mouth.
The moment she bit her fingertip, she froze again.
Then, like a thief, he quickly lowered his hand and stroked his fingertips lightly.
After a long time, Zheng Shuyi didn't speak again.
Just when Shi Yan thought that Zheng Shuyi had finally settled down, he saw her turn around slowly, and said to Fiona behind her, "We ordered popcorn, do you want it?"
"..."
Fiona, who had witnessed everything just now, was so annoyed by Zheng Shuyi's contrived and refreshing bitch that she wanted to laugh.
"No, thank you."
